Block Configuration Settings

When you select an Easy TubeCasting block in the WordPress editor, several customization options appear in the sidebar.

Primary Settings

  • YouTube URL Field: Paste a video, playlist, channel, username, or handle URL. You can also paste multiple video URLs separated by commas.
  • Display Style: The current built-in frontend style is Spotlight Player. The editor keeps this value set to Spotlight Player.

Layout Customization

  • Videos Per Batch: Controls how many playlist items are visible initially and how many additional items appear with each Load More click. Default is 10. This is a display setting; it does not limit how many videos are fetched from YouTube for a collection.
  • Range: The editor accepts values from 1 to 50.
  • Single-Player Mode: Set this value to 1 to hide the playlist and show only the primary player.

Visual Styling

  • Theme Mode:
  • Dark: Sleek, modern dark background (default).
  • Light: Clean, light background that blends work with standard white page designs.
  • Accent Color: Controls the play badge and player accent color. If no color is selected, the default is #0466ff.

Pro-Tips for Configuration

  • Responsive Design: You don't need to worry about mobile devices; the Spotlight player adapts to smaller screens.
  • Large Collections: If you have a very large channel, keep "Videos Per Batch" at a reasonable number (10-15) so the playlist remains easy to browse.
  • API Key: A key is only required for playlists, channels, usernames, and handles. Single videos and comma-separated video URLs can work without one.
